Every year we have a good laugh at the Gathering of the Juggalos commercial, and this year was no different. As you are reading this, the Gathering is happening. Thousands of juggalos have descended upon Cave-in-Rock, IL to woop-woop their heart away. The Village Voice is on the scene covering the event (they are so brave) and have already reported that besides ridiculous gridlock, there were at least 10 arrests made before the event even officially kicked off.
"We've had 10 or 15 in four or five hours," says Cullison. Six involved drug charges ("Not a large amount either"), one for unpaid child support. The rest were apprehended for lacking auto insurance, vehicle registration, or driving with a revoked license. No weapons have been found, Cullison notes, "so far."
"We got one upstairs who might be extradited," says the Sheriff, referring to the alleged deadbeat dad. Everyone else bonded out. "It's been a long day. Imagine what tomorrow's going to be when it opens."
This article was originally posted on Tuesday, so I can only imagine how many more arrests have been made. Can the Gathering get to triple digits? One simply has to go to the drug bridge to fill-up quotas.
